Facilities Management Diploma in New Zealand
Massey University, in collaboration with The Facilities Management Association of New Zealand (FMANZ), has launched New Zealand's first entry-level university qualifications in respect of facilities management.
The Diploma in Facilities Management (DipFM) is geared towards providing school leavers and junior level FM professionals, with fundamental knowledge, while the new Graduate Diploma in Facilities Management (GradDipFM) allows for progression into more senior leadership roles.
Both are eight credit courses which can be completed in one year of full-time study, via on-campus or distance learning. The course can also be taken part-time. There is an option to exit the course with a Certificate/Graduate Certificate level on completion of four papers.

ACRS verifies steel from source to site via unique 2-stage process
Ensuring that the construction steels used on Australian and New Zealand prpjects conform with relevant Australian and New Zealand requirements - irrespective of country of origin - is of paramount importance.
Notwithstanding potential issues that can result from use of non-conforming construction steels, strict 'chain of responsibility' legislation, wider scrutiny and increasing litigation, accepting materials that don't conform with all of the relevant Standards and Codes is an unnecessary risk for engineers, specifiers, suppliers, builders and ultimately, the public.
Using suppliers holding ACRS Stage 2 certification remains the only demonstrably effective certification pathway to manage project risk from finished steels not covered by ACRS certification.

COVID-19 Checklists for Levels 2 and 3
With the rules around social gathering and the need to be vigilant in respect of health and safety, the Institute has been supportive of CHASNZ and other organisations in the development of a set of site checklists under Alert Levels 2 and 3.
